Hi Oscar -- I'm a bit confused about the 'my society' thing lately too, as the artists I do follow don't consistently show up in my 'feed' either...so, I also miss seeing your latest works too. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments and, guess what?? you teach me things!! lol I love that! Yes, I never heard of naif art, and now I have new research to do! Some have said my style hints of aboriginal, as well. How exciting! Your insight gives a new depth and meaning to this piece. THANK YOU, Oscar! xo

Brian! Thank you! I'm glad you like this one!! See how the smaller circles in the roots eventually grow into the larger 'older' members? With the fading white circles, I imagined time passing for the older generations. Sometimes, time is noticed and it even seems to stop! Other 'times' is fast like a rat-race and nearly irrelevant, seeming. Imagine though, a person...that has spent time, sowing...into the lives of his children, and grows a LEGACY?

It's the most amazing thing to behold. And, even then...time passes too quickly, and the legacy is mostly noticed in retrospect. ;)

I love the symbolism your have created. You could be the stability strength and support provided by the roots, providing the vital constant flow of nutrients to produce fruits from your inner core and branch arms to give them comfort ready to flourish and come to full ripening..................but you know .....as a bloke the best bit for us was sowing the seed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Wait...Belle...you did? You're such a darling!! I'm honored and think this is too fun, like....a PARTY on your page!! I'm going to have to figure to do this on my FB page and frequent it more often! OKAY. Big hugs!! Thank you! xoxox

Awww Christopher! You just made my morning zing with smiles! You're so nice to me. Thank you! xo My summer has been full to the brim with everything but my time to paint!! LOL Life with six kids, it happens like that! More soon, though!

Hi Gale! I immediately loved your tree, but much more so with your description! I attended a family reunion of my great-grandfather's family recently and connected them in my mind so easily - still a legacy after 150 years in the States!
